Recession,blah blah blah



(Quip: That's what I felt like doing, today. Read on)

ROFL....no,there's no reason for that bit of laughter...it's just that I've heard so many things from people-rumours or otherwise, about the effect the current world crisis seems to be having out here, that it was high time I had a good laugh,or, if not, just feel sad about people who've recently lost their jobs,been told to sit home on LWP,etc. Here's hoping things change for the better for  all, very soon.

Amidst all the rumors and realities floating around, of the recession, of how it’s affecting people and projects, here and round the world, it was a refresher to see some humor related to this crisis. Amongst the ones I found funniest(Austy, I know you’ll enjoy these) , were:

-What worries me about the credit crunch is that if one of my cheques is returned stamped ‘insufficient funds’,  I won’t know whether that refers to mine or the bank’s!’

-How do you define optimism?

-A banker who irons five shirts on a Sunday.

-If you want to gamble, go to Las Vegas. If you want to trade in derivatives, God  bless you.

-The US have developed a new weapon that destroys people but it leaves buildings standing. It’s called the stock market.

 Daffynition:

 Broker: What my broker made me. 

---------

A woman goes to her doctor, complaining that her husband is 300% impot*nt. The doctor says, "I'm not sure I understand what you mean." She says, "Well, the first 100% you can imagine. In addition, he 
burned his tongue and broke his finger!"

Till next time,keep smiling, and ,as far as possible,don't let recessionist thoughts get to you!!

Great positive post Amit!

To be honest, I too am dead bored of this recession drama! I was so frikkin annoyed by some ppl who ALWAYS chose to speak abt it in my presence and sound like the whole world in crashing down on their bed! WTF. Cant ppl stop whinging abt things that they possibly cannot change directly or quickly. Im different. I dun worry abt things that I dun hv any control of. I just be.



**In addition, he
burned his tongue and broke his finger!"


LOL LOL LOL! Good one! :):)

"Broker: What my broker made me."

Shouldn't it be "broke: what my broker made me"? (scratching head.)

Perception

  Hi all positive people.. a topic I often think over.. it's something which helped a lot in changing my thoughts towards the positive side (Again, learned via the Secret)... and, still does, in this always continual learning curve. The subject: Perception... my own perception: Think over it, specially, your negative thoughts and emotions about people and things - you find someone to be angry, you find them to be always complaining, you hate(That's the worst negative word, according to me.. better to dislike than hate, if you have to) someone or something. Think over it... are those persons or things like that? Or, it it your perception of how they are? Have you tried to put yourself in their place to see if they are, deep inside worried about something else, and that worry comes out as irritation towards you? One of the best remedies: Smile, bless that person or those persons and wish them all the best.. if they don't change, nee, not them, but YOUR perception of them does

‘Vaandro udhto udhto gayo’( A flying monkey just went by)….a remark that gave me the first laugh of the day today. A sudden sound of a parrot-like screech coupled with something like hooves clickety-clacking on the vehicle-less road caused the tea guy at the tea stall ask ‘what was that’? and, a guy sitting nearby retorted thusly. I just tried imagining a flying monkey, and couldn’t help grinning away in the dark.(I still don't know what had caused the sound, btw) Life’s like that- if you keep your ears open, you can never have a dull moment. We had our Building’s AGM two days, back, at 730 PM, on the terrace. It was accompanied by a simple, catered dinner, since it’s also an annual get-together. The catering guy had set one table with the actual dinner, and the other one at a right angle, was slightly in the dark, so you could just about see something in the thalis(huge plates). So we took a plate,etc, and, first took the salad, then, the achaar or something like it, and then th

Inventions and Discoveries

I'm really curious. Who invented the 'Va'. Or the 'Sha'. Or the 'Wi'. Or some such words. No, they're not some illnesses or prefixes. These are the words we invent when talking to people. I see the usage the max, specially in Baroda. Like: 1. Chai-Vaai peeni hai?(Want to have some Chai-Vaai?) 2. Naashta-Vaashta kar liya?(Did you have Naashta-Vaashta?) 3. Chutney-Vutney hai kya?( Is there any chutney-vutney?) 4. Lift-Wift nahin hai kya building mein?(Isn't there a Life-Wift in the building?) 5. Bombay-Wombay/ Dubai-Shubai kab jaa rahe ho ab?(When are you going to ....?) 6. Paise-Vaise milenge time pe ya nahin?(Will you get Paise-Vaise on time or not?) There are so many others I come across during the day, like, say speaker-veeker, phone-vone, kapde-vapde, dukaan-vukaan, that I have these rhyming words coming out of my ears, and, Arghhh!! Since the last few days, even I've started talking like this. Hopefully it won't be too rampant on my blo
